    Summary

    Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is complex, needing a team approach and considering psychological stress. New diagnostic and treatment strategies, including surgery, are essential for orthodontic patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction presents complex diagnostic and treatment challenges.
    • Psychological stress is a significant factor influencing TMJ disorder diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current understanding and propose modifications in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ dysfunction within orthodontic practice.
    • To highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach and consideration of novel treatment modalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on TMJ dysfunction.
    • Consideration of new concepts in TMJ function and anatomy from an arthroscopic perspective.
    • Evaluation of advanced treatment methods like the polycentric hinge joint articulator.

    Main Results:

    • TMJ dysfunction necessitates a multidisciplinary approach.
    • Psychological stress is a key diagnostic consideration.
    • Modified orthodontic diagnostic and treatment protocols are required.

    Conclusions:

    • Orthodontic patient care requires a comprehensive evaluation for TMJ issues.
    • Treatment may involve psychological counseling, splint therapy, orthodontics, and potentially TMJ arthroscopic surgery.
    • A revised framework for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment is proposed to address TMJ dysfunction comprehensively.
